Since the last time I wrote a lot has happened. My emergency management instructor was awesome and I am going to miss her. She is stationed in SLC- that is a senior base, if I learn French I could possibly call there home base. On Monday I had my second emergency management test: Turbulence, smoke & fire, decompression. That is a lot of information and drills for one test, but that is over for now. On tuesday we had 'ditching day'. This is the day we are in the pool learning about water evacuations and survival skills. I am not a fan of life vests, BUT it did feel really nice to be in the water-even if there were no goals/balls involved. On wednesday I woke up for a day full of tests. (keep in mind that none of my class days until today and yesterday were less than 11 hours, some 12+). We had a computer test as well as an equipment test, followed by a day full of hands on mockup scenario tests. IT WAS A LONG DAY-but I made it through! It was also a sad day, until that day we were the only class section who had not lost someone. (if you do not maintain a 90% or pass on the pass/fail exams then you are released from training-sent home). One person from my class was sent home. The past few days have been all about medical. CPR and first aid certifications. Tomorrow-another test.
I am doing well. I am still missing home cooked meals. I am trying to be as healthy as I can with a microwave and snacks. If any of you have any creative meal ideas please share. I have a feeling the tuna and crackers meal may get old soon. I received my first package-THANKS MOM AND DAD! I am hoping that after I study tonight I will have time to color with my crayons and coloring book you sent me!
